I don't know why everyone says that, mine work great, even with a failing vacuum pump they work pretty good. A little Rain-X on the windshield helps a lot.

I like the old school vacuum wipers, maybe it's just the swiiissshhh, swiiissshhh sound, would a vacuum canister help?

No because they are constant use and it would just deplete the canister. I turn mine down to slow and it is swish..........swish...........swish. You can even here the valve reverse direction.

I love the comfort of a modern jeep aka 151A2. Don't know what you guys are talking about.
